My name is Chris Dodge and I love to bring my family along for many adventures. We love to inspire others to get outside too. We have a whole YouTube Channel dedicated to it called Adventuring in the Moment. With videos or writing, I try to bring the best that the outdoors has to offer.
Ocean Park is a small town and with it comes community. Some people have made their homes in this little beach town, and others have made it a vacation spot for many years. The local meeting place is the Ocean Park Soda Fountain. It has been around for years and it is a local favorite. The crowds that gather each night are excited, friendly, and full of life. You can jump into all the buzz and excitement found in this small town soda fountain.
Ocean Park is a beach town through and through, from the decorations adorning every camp lining the streets to the locals found walking to the beach with an arm full of beach chairs.
This town is charming and wonderful with an amazing beach. With plenty of space and never too busy, Ocean Park is an excellent place to enjoy some fun in the sun.
But what do you do when that sun beats down and you need to cool off?
Sure you can jump into the ocean and cool off, and depending on the time of year you may just freeze like an ice cube. Or you could look no further than the Ocean Park Soda Fountain. This establishment has been around for a long time and has always been a classic place to get ice cream, a float, or a Raspberry Lime Rickey. They have a small outdoor seating area blocked off by the iconic red separator. But if that is full then there is plenty of lawn all around and even park benches to enjoy your frozen treat of choice.

They have a nice indoor area which hasn’t changed since it was opened.
It's quaint and charming with an old feel and yet loaded with nostalgia. You even go up to the counter and order in a line just like an old fashion drug store counter.
One of the local favorites is the Raspberry Lime Rickey.
This menu item is really the crown on top of the Ocean Park Soda Parlor. It is locally known as the "Famous Raspberry Lime Rickey" and it is a perfect way to cool off after a hot summer beach day. A perfect mixture of club soda, raspberry flavoring, and a hint of lime then they top it off with a lime wedge. The fizzy goodness will course through your core and cool you, all while creating a delicious tour for your taste buds.
Then a root beer float will be perfect for you. It just seems fitting in an environment like this to take your significant other, sit in a booth, grab two straws, and share this old-timey drink.
The Ocean Park Soda Fountain might seem like it’s stuck in a time long forgotten, but that’s what makes people love it and come back time and time again. Looking for more Ocean Park fun? Check out this article all on this charming community in Maine.
